Nutritional Management of Gastrointestinal Diseases

Nutritional management of gastrointestinal diseases focuses on tailoring diet and nutrition to support individuals with digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, or celiac disease. This involves identifying food triggers, providing balanced meals that are easy to digest, and ensuring adequate nutrient intake. Dietitians may recommend specific diets, supplements, or modifications to improve symptoms and promote healing. The goal is to enhance the patient’s quality of life while managing their condition through informed dietary choices, making nutrition a key component in the overall treatment and care of gastrointestinal health.
